Who: Sora & YOU
When: The month of November
Where: Where these quests happen
What: A catch-all for the month of November! Quests and open prompts inside!
Warnings: Tba

[A: Quest: under new management]

[Sora is a new employee of the recently established Harbor District orphanage so he regularly helps with rounding up rowdy children, helping with meal prepping any other kinds of tasks needed around the orphanage. He is more than eager to try and coax other people to join in as volunteers too. Helping the kids cheer up, doing some crafts or face painting with them or even just sharing stories to help lift their spirits is always, whole-heartedly, welcomed.

On this balmy Autumn day, Sora can be found in the harbour area with a few of the orphaned children working on some papercrafts on the boardwalk. One of the children happens to be rowdier than the others. A small, orphaned chimera child that has quite a sharp set of teeth and a long lion-like tail. The child hops up to his feet and starts to run amok and Sora only has a few seconds to jump up to his feet to try and gather him up.]

Hey- Wait, you gotta stay with the group today, okay!

[But the chimera child decides he doesn’t want to listen today. His teeth are growing every day so he’s irritable and teething on anything he can get his mouth on. That might happen to be you as the chimera boy makes a beeline straight for you! Watch out! He might bite! Sora will attempt to scoop the boy up into his arms if the child doesn’t get to you first!]

Ahh--!! Watch out! Sorry!!

[These kids are all good and adorable, please don’t be too mad!]

[B: Quest: veggies tales]

[Planting vegetables in the community garden is a task Sora is more than acquainted to. As a puca Sora’s appetite for anything green and freshly grown can be quite voracious. Since turning into a monster Sora’s stomach has become almost completely vegetarian because of his new rabbit-like behaviours so working in the garden is more like a labour of love too.

He’s hunkered down in the gardens that day working on planting some fresh cauliflower bulbs with a carefree tune on his lips. His rabbit ears twitch once he finishes another patch with a pat of his hand. But after a moment he seems to frown as he sees the ground start to wiggle.]

Huh? What the-!

[And just like that a small cat head pops out of the ground and lets out a tiny meow. Its leaf-like ears flicker and it starts to try to wiggle out of the ground. The kitten looks like it is half-plant and half-feline! It has green and white splotches with a matching leafy mane around its neck.]

Did you just grow out of the ground?!

[This cauliflower-shaped cat might be in for some trouble! Or will it be giving its own trouble?!]

[C: Quest: shawl about love]

[There happens to be a task to help someone in love find their one true love. Truth be told Sora is a big romantic at heart so he couldn’t really pass up the idea of helping someone find their one true love. This task requires Sora to offer a shawl to various different people in order to see if they happen to be the one. Sora has a gray but magical piece of cloth that will turn blue if they wear it and happen to be that one destined person.

Sora hops up to anyone who might seem willing with a friendly smile and a curious twitch of his long brown-furred rabbit ears.]

Hey there! I’m trying to help someone out, could you try to see if this charm works on you?

[He’s asking around for anyone to give the shawl a try! Maybe you’ll find true love today!]

[D: Quest: a watery pit]

[There have been missing reports of a merrow gone missing with all leads connecting back to River Temese. Sora decides to help out with the search in order to find the missing merrow. He’s not an aquatic type monster but he’s more than capable of swimming and holding his breath so he feels like he should help out.

Near the river Sora sniffs at the air for any traces of lingering monster scents or witch signatures that might give him a clue.]

That’s weird... I think I can smell something different but it all ends right here at the riverbank.

[He’d be more than willing to team up with anyone to help find the missing merrow somewhere nearby. And discover the reason why the merrow went missing in the first place.]

[E: wildcard]

[got something else? feel free to toss it down here! or contact me at for

michrure some plotting! closed threads will also be below.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Meanwhile, Sora is busy catching and scooping up as many of the creatures as he can! He gets one of the kittens stuck to his head and it seems to be clinging to his hair but Sora whirls around anyway as he tries to grab another.]

Wha-! Hey! Ah--!

[And suddenly there is a net coming right for his whole head and Sora lets out a yelp as it's thrown over him! He gets tangled up as he tries to struggle and falls backwards right on his butt. The veggie-kittens start to grabble and grab at the netting and Sora lets out a huff.]

Ouch!! Hey, I'm not one of them! Hahah!

( he recoils in very, very minor horror--- his aim was really that off? or perhaps he just expected the vegetables to be easier to catch? either way he's already heading over to sora, doing his best to pull the net off of the boy. )

Well, you could've fooled me. ( said after a nervous laugh, being careful to not pull sora's ears. ) Still... it looks like you did a good job of attracting some of them, huh?

( the kittens are still trying to climb the net, furiously pawing at the strings. )

Definitely cute. It's hard not to feel bad about where they'll end up.

[Sora sputters and his ears wiggle when he's free but there is no harm done. He shakes his hair out and laughs lightly.]

I guess that did work in a weird way, huh? It looks like we got the rest of them.

[A job well done!!]

But yeah, I feel a little bad too. I don't know how they ended up here but in the end, I guess they're just food?

( that makes ranulf half-smile, looking at the very animated vegetables. he reaches out to grab sora underneath the arms, hoping to help him get to his feet. he's a good boy. no doubt he'll make a great hero one day, if he already isn't one in his own right. young beorc... he's seen plenty of courageous ones. )

Aren't we all just food to something? ( the laguz fluffs up sora's hair, right in between the ears. ) Though it's probably more likely here than anywhere else.

( as he gathers a few cats into his arms, ranulf laughs as one tries to tuck itself into his shirt. )

Okay. Let's take these back. Maybe we can find some normal carrots or potatoes on the way.

[Sora gets pulled up to his feet and Sora's cheeks get a little pink as he grins and dusts himself off.]

Heh, yeah don't I know about that.

[Rabbit and all... He's had some scary run-ins with people who think he's the food.]

But yeah, let's get going! Thanks for all the help today, Ranulf. How have you been doing lately?

[With the creatures scooped up Sora heads towards the garden house to drop them off.]

( following behind him with the net hopefully intact, he also does his best to keep those little critters tucked as safely and tightly as possible so they don't try to escape. )

Lately? Ah... well, I guess I've been good. Magic's still pretty hard to control. My bonded, Soren, has been working his hardest.

( though what ranulf won't expect is that his dragon friend will have done a bit of damage in places. oh well. )

But I guess all things considered? It could be worse. ( a polite smile. ) How about you?

[Sora grins and goes ahead and deposits his catches in the baskets near the house. All done.]

It's tough being a monster, huh! When my bondmate was learning magic it was a lot on me too. And he learnt his magic so fast I almost couldn't keep up.

[He stretches his arms after that and then tugs on one rabbit ear.]

But I'm doing good too! I'm not really looking forward to the winter, but it'll be my first winter in this world!

I bet. I guess I'm lucky, Soren's been here for quite some time, so he's already used to what he can and can't do here.

( especially as a former mage. he does wonder if his friend misses being able to cast magic the way he could before, and it's never come up. ranulf doesn't want to prod a sensitive spot, after all. )

Hm. Why? What's wrong with the winter? I'm sure you could find some kind of scarf or earmuffs to cover... well, as much exposed ear as possible.

That is lucky! I'm glad Vanitas was a quick learner too!

[Sora ruffles his fur some more before he grins.]

And I dunno, I've never liked winter that much. I grew up on a tropical island! And what if my fur turns white like actual rabbits do in winter?

Winter can be rough. Some laguz get a little more tired and grumpy, but I think it's because they want to sleep... sadly, we're always very busy almost all the time.

( no laguz worth their fur, scales, or feathers can hibernate. the war put a stop to that. )

Nothing wrong with changing color over a season! Besides, maybe your Vanitas will like it.

Laguz? Is that what you're called back in your world? What I wouldn't do for a long winter nap, though.

[Unfortunately, rabbits don't really hibernate even if Sora would love to.

He snorts with laughter.]

I dunno, if my fur turns white he might not like that! Or he'd just tease me every single day.

Yep! There's a lot of us, too. Birds, dragons, other beasts... we're a little separated, but it's been a lot better for us recently.

( it's okay. he can just use hibernation as an excuse to sleep in. or to snuggle with someone. )

Then tease him back. You've got magic for that!

[Sora snickers playfully. Ranulf, he likes you.]

It almost sounds like what monsters are in this world. A bunch of different kinds of animals and beasts.

[He taps his nose.]

I could see how he'd fare against some of my illusion magic too... Hmm!!

[Don't give him ideas!! Vanitas will kill him!]

Kind of. ( and this is where ranulf's smile fades! just slightly. he's still happy to be with sora but the reminder of home and the perils it faced and probably still faces... makes him a little thoughtful. ) It would be nice if one day we could walk in beorc towns and not get too many stares.

( even with monster and witch relations being rocky at times, it's better than beorc and laguz as it stands.

with a laugh, ranulf gives sora's hair another quick ruffle. )

Just don't get mean. Sounds like you know the easiest way to get under his skin, though...

[Sora laughs softly. He supposes that most worlds must have the same sort of troubles. He tries to give Ranulf a reassuring smile.]

Heh, I'll try not to get too mean.

[Speaking of that, Sora has to be heading back home soon! So he waves his goodbye with a friendly expression.]

I better get going though! Thanks again for working with me today, Ranulf! We should do it again sometime, okay?

Of course. You can always count on me, Sora!

( with a flash of a smile, he nods a few times before waving himself--- and then after making sure the veggie animals are all secured, will take his own leave. )
